Coat of arms

The arms are argent above three wavy fesses azure in counterchief and between an orbicular cross gules at dexter and a cross patty gules voided an escutcheon charged with five plates per saltire and on a chief gules a feather or per fess. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VILA DE REI".

Version without the coat of arms

Plain (monocolored) portuguese subnational flags are not allowed to have armless variations: plain flags always carry the coat of arms.
